These two locations are the forward strut nuts on the rear strut towers and the strut nuts.
However, I ran into two places here where following torque specs was just not feasible. Torque wrench ( Available on )Ī note regarding torque specs: Normally, I am a big stickler when using appropriate torque specs everywhere. Spring compressor (this can be rented at most auto stores) Note that these springs are only recommended with Koni adjustable shocks or the OEM Bilsteins. Goodwin Racing was kind enough to sponsor me a set of RoadsterSport springs, which I'll have a review posted for in the next couple of weeks. Just like the man said, job done, two rear coils changed thanks Mick.This tutorial will walk you through the process of changing the shocks and/or springs on the 124 Spider. Yes their cheap but trust me, spend a few more quid on something like OME and you should be fine. There's next to no articulation, they are rock hard and make even the most minor pot hole back breaking. I fitted a set of HD ones to my Shogun Sport 2 weeks ago and they are dreadful. I've been looking for a 2007 on Shogun van as it's for business use (as well) but never come across the right one that wasn't 200 miles away.ĭo yourself a favor and DO NOT go for the Milners springs. Unfortunately all good things come to an end as I have sold my Shogun and awaiting delivery of an Isuzu D-Max pickup Shogun has been a good old truck for me.
Never did get round to replacing the adjusters which looked a pig of a job. Mine started to wear the inner edge off the rear tyres and unfortunately the adjusters were seized solid. If you go down the the longer 'lifted' springs then tracking will need resetting probably. If you're going for a stiffer unrated spring then it may be worth considering doing the fronts as well? I have had the OME longer stiffer springs on my 2003 Shogun for some years along with dampers and have served me well. If going standard height then you'll not have any problems. What sort of a job is it to change them?Įasy job two bolts jack under lower arm lower it down spring will drop out then just reverse the procedure Just got mine back from MOT and both rear ciol springs are fractured! Just been on Milners site and they are £60 for a pair. I have not been able to find OE height OME rear springs but have found Monroe Adventure rear shocks (D7003) for £40 so I will change those while I am at it.Īnyone know where I can get OME standard height springs for a V78 Shogun in the UK?Īnyone got an opinion on "Pedders" coils and shocks? I am looking at the 'standard' height parts, not the lift kits. Mine lift the truck 40 mm but think you can get standard heights as well. You can but OME standard springs or 200 constant. Lifted the rear about 50 mm, massive improvement off road and on, loaded or empty.Īs Doug says I have Old Man Emu 300 constant springs on the rear. I fitted OME rear coil springs to my Gen 1 around 100 000 km ago. My dad had to have his replaced for the last mot at 60k May I ask which HD rear coil springs you went for? Yeah as Mick says it's not common for these springs to break, I have HD springs on mine & it's a pretty hard ride but does handle better round corners. Iv had my truck over 5 years never had a spring break yet
#REPLACE REAR SPRINGS ON SHOGUN SPORT FREE#
Posted: Sat 18:08 Post subject: Google Ads keep the POCUK free to join! Is this common on V78's? I don't know what the previous owner used the truck for but it has a tow-bar fitted.Ĭhanging them looks easy enough, but should I go for heavier duty ones or will that harsh the ride up no end? Should I inspect/change anything else during the spring change like bushes or shocks?
#REPLACE REAR SPRINGS ON SHOGUN SPORT DRIVERS#
A year earlier, I needed to replace the drivers side rear coil spring for the same reason. During the MOT last December, I needed to have the passenger side rear coil spring replaced due to it being broken. I only use mine on-road and so the ride is usually smooth apart from pot-holes, drain covers and speed humps.
